Too Dee for Him.

A Boston girl came over to Now

several days, among hor other pleasures
including the beautiful display OF chrys-
anthemums at Cosmopolitan Hall. She
was delighted with it. Tho splendid
shocks OF snowy and t(umc-coiorcd

lings that look as if nature had copied
them from decorations on Japanese
jars, and tho clean, fresh, curious per
fumes filled her cultured soul so full of
sentiment that it dubbed over for the
benefit of q New York nan lie came
to call soon after her return from the
flower show. He was a charming

Gle manufactured in this country. lI1

in English goods. and his gait on The

found but little time TO unbcnd his nina

moro important had escaped his attcn-
tcntion, among them the flower show,
which hc happened not TO have heard of.

The Cotton MovemCnt.

From tho Now York Financial Chron-
iclc's cotton article the following figures
arc gathered relative to the movement of
the staple during the past week:
The total receipts reached 3,J9S bales,
against 2,3Gl bales last week, 3,3l0 bales
the previous week, and I, 032 bales three
weeks since; making the total receipts
since the 1st September, 1856, 5,19O,l l2
bales, against !, 260, FOB bales forthc same
period of 1880 8, showing a decrease since
September ], 1886, of O,2Gl bales.
The exports for the week reach n total
of 1860 bales, of which 10, 1871 were 70
Great Britain, 209 to France, and 2,GS1
to the rest of the continent.
The total visible supply of cotton, as
made up by cable and telegraph, for the
week is as follows:
Total of Great Britain stock S3l 900
bales, total of continental stocks ISL,
800-making a total OF European stocks
of 1,2l5,S0O bales. The total visible
supply for the world is l,SOS, 1928 bales;
of this number LBS, 525 arc American
and G69,S00 East Indian, etc.
The imports into continental ports
during the week were %, 600 bales.
These figures indicate n decrease in the
cotton in sight of i5,27S bales as com
puIcI Will Vic SttliiS NltlC VI lCtO, tllNl
a decrease Of II $50 bales as compared
with the corresponding date of 1885.
The receipts at interior towns for the
week have been 2,O35 bales. Old int
rior stocks decreased 2, l9l bales, and
were 1889 bales less than ut the same
period last year.
The receipts from the plantations,
being the actual movement, not includ-
ing tho overland receipts nor Southern
consumption, of cotton that reached the
market through the outports for the
week were 3,50S bales. The total re-
ceipts since the lst Of September are
5,1Si,2 84 bales. Tho actual movement
from the plantations was only 1893
bales, the balance being taken from the
stocks ut the interior towns.
Cotton in sight June II was 6,3l2, 07G
being a decrease OF cotton in sight as
compared with last year of 1852.
The Chronicle saws, in reviewing the
speculation in futures during the week:
''The speculation i'll cotton for future
delivery at this market has been fcvcrish
and unsettled in tone, with the ourSc Of
prices somewhat cratic and irregular.
The reduced stocks have caused some
anxiety about contracts for this crop,
and August options advanced 10 points
from the recent tigures-namcly, from
10. sc. to 1l.0Gc., but there was no con-
sidererablc short interest to Squeeze |
and prices gave way the moment buying |
ceased to be active. The very favorable
reports from the growing crop prevented
any material improvement i'll the moro
distant options, although it is generally |
admitted that the supplies will run
probably quite low i'll the early fall
months, especially in Europe"
